Summary
Persephone's autobiography. What really happened that cause her to go to the Underworld?
-
Bookmark Notes:
the most comprehensive telling of Persephone's stories that i've ever found, with a timeline of events that accounts for both Zagreus and Leuke. It does quietly remove Persephone from the tale of Minthe but that myth has always been odd (Aidoneus is indeed the most lawful and recognizably "moral" of the Olympians, after Hestia).
Persephone's life before the Underworld is a tragedy and it makes the reclamation of her cthonic titles & mysteries as being hers by choice read all the more meaningful because of it.
(and zeus, as always, shows why he should be thrown in the styx without parole)
